Mr. Speaker, recently, former KGB captain Mikhail Lennikov marked his fourth year of illegally hiding out in a Vancouver church basement.
Throughout its history, the KGB has committed untold atrocities against the people of Eastern Europe. Rather than condemn this senior KGB official and call on him to immediately go back to where he came from, the NDP member for Burnaby—New Westminster has asked the government to show compassion and allow Lennikov to stay in Canada.
Frankly, this is appalling. Unlike Mr. Lennikov's comrades in the NDP, our Conservative government stands with the victims of communism. There are no safe havens where our laws do not apply. This individual must be removed as soon as possible.
